Favorite Panther Moment:
As a student – First day of freshman year walking out of our Ceremony of Initiation and Affirmation, being welcomed by all of the professors and the tradition to shake their hands as you walk down the line. Four years later, Commencement Day (graduation), seeing the same line of professors shake my hand again as they send me off to make a difference in the world.

As an employee of the college –In August/September, seeing all of the new panthers I worked with through the admissions process go through the same ceremony with smiles on their faces!

Why you should choose Ferrum: If you are looking for a community where you not only learn specific skills toward the career you want, but life lessons, and an education background that demonstrates the American model: freedom, experimentation, problem solving, critical thinking, expression, & the list goes on.

Hobbies/Interests: I love going to the beach, shopping, traveling, learning different languages, and attending church. I love going to the mountains, snow tubing, and spending time with my family and friends.

Favorite Panther Moment: I have a few favorites. First is Ferrum’s Relay for Life – watching the survivors walk their lap and seeing the campus come together to fight for a cure. Second is my graduation day – shaking the same professors’ hands that I shook coming in as a freshman, marking the end of one amazing journey and the beginning of another. Third is having the opportunity to be an Orientation Team (O-Team) Leader and Captain – moving the freshman in and working with them through their first week on campus knowing that their lives will be forever changed by the experiences they will have at Ferrum.

Why you should choose Ferrum: Ferrum is a beautiful campus that offers students a diverse learning experience and family atmosphere. The opportunities you can experience at Ferrum are invaluable and worth a lifetime. Ferrum will prepare you for your future and expose you to the best the world has to offer.

Favorite Panther Moment: On my first day as an employee here at Ferrum, Dr. Joseph Spooner and his wife Nicole came up to me, hugged me and asked me in which department I worked. Because it was my first day, I had no idea he was the President so I asked them where they worked. They looked at each other, smiled and said “in the President’s office”. As we approached the Admissions building, everyone shouted and rushed out to greet the President of the College and his wife. I was mortified! How could I not know who they were? Nicole and Dr. Spooner continue to laugh at this story and always greet me with a hug. Our Presidential family is the coolest.

Why you should choose Ferrum: Ferrum is one of the few colleges that actually nurtures every student. Ferrum College ensures that every student is given a myriad of opportunities to succeed. Faculty actually take an interest in students’ goals and help to plan a distinguished course of action.

Hobbies/Interests: I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, gardening, decorating, and cooking. I’m also a Redskins fan, a member of Stone Memorial Christian Church and the Carillon Ringers Handbell Choir.

Favorite Panther Moment: Some of my favorite moments have almost always been affiliated in some way with events like Panther Preview, PAWS or Check-In day. It is a lot of fun to work at these events together with my colleagues, including current (and past) work-study students, as well as meeting new students and their families! It is very difficult to choose just one, but I think my most favorite moment has to be when a student who I have helped during their journey at Ferrum comes back after graduation to visit. Good times!

All of our dedicated faculty and staff are eager to encourage you and give you the tools you need to achieve your dreams!
